Sealing Washer
At Henderson Bearings, our Sealing washers of the Z-type form efficient labyrinth seals that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Being primarily recommended for simple bearing arrangements, they provide inexpensive solutions to many sealing problems. The sealing efficiency depends on the washer design (standard or F design) and the number of washers used.

What is a sealing washer?
A sealing washer is a component designed to provide a reliable seal between two surfaces, preventing leakage of lubricants or the ingress of contaminants. In particular, Z-type sealing washers create efficient labyrinth seals in simple bearing arrangements. These washers are cost-effective and offer a straightforward solution to many sealing challenges. For more sealing options, explore our full range of Sealing Products.
What is the function of a sealing washer?
Sealing washers are primarily used to prevent the escape of lubricants and the entry of dust, dirt, and moisture in machinery components, such as bearings. They are particularly beneficial in environments where contaminants might affect the functionality and longevity of the bearings. For more robust sealing solutions, consider our Rotary Shaft Seals or Hydraulic Damper Fork Seals for additional protection.
Can sealing washers be reused?
Sealing washers are typically designed for single-use applications, especially when they are part of critical sealing solutions. Reusing sealing washers can compromise the seal integrity, leading to potential failures. If you need reliable sealing for a longer service life, check out our O Ring Selection Kits or Seal Packs for Split Plummer Blocks for alternatives that offer extended durability.
Why are sealing washers important?
Sealing washers are vital in ensuring the efficient operation of bearing arrangements by maintaining the correct lubricant levels and protecting the components from external contaminants. They are especially useful in applications where simple, cost-effective sealing solutions are required.
